(EL POV)
I just smiled to Athena’s behavior. Lucah looked at me as if I am being a fool. In return I smile at him. Then walked straight to the dining room. It was enclosed by the kitchen where Athena want to go with her personal maid, I have given to her.
When we arrived at the dining area prepared for us, the Grand Alpha was already waiting for us. Athena does not yet know the tradition of paying respect before his presence. She just give him a simple smile. I am the one who about to laughed to what she did. Well, nobody minds at all. She is my mate. Whoever gets on her way will be facing me accordingly.
The food is already prepare
(Athena POV)Mia herself put on my apron. Inside the kitchen, different races were working. So different pairs of eyes are staring at me. I just overheard that they immediately recognized who I was. The one EL chose to be his woman. That man is really stupid. No. Too smart to make my world ruined!I took the knife and stared at Mia badly, but she would not back down from a staring competition. She is still better if the stare is intended to kill. So, I smiled at her. I picked up the basket and went to the ingredient’s pantry.My eyes are glad what they're seeing. Is this why the Olympics are held here because they provide complete set of ingredients? Some chefs are still cooking, and it is normal for them not to pay much attention to me because I am just a human being who has no name in this society.I'm the only one who will eat so I
(Athena POV)“Doc, I'm fine. I will not die from this simple wound.” I showed my finger to him, as he raised an eyebrow. He really just came here for a simple wound. Yeah! The prince of werewolves was overreacting. "Someone needs you more than I do." I smiled at the physician. Then turned to the food I was cooking. The physician indeed wasted his time. But Mia pulled my hand, then… “You don’t want him to lose his job, right? Let him do his duty the reason why he is summoned here.” I thought I already explain my part. But to Mia’s warning… it was pity for the physician if he loses his profession because of my tiny wounds. So, I had no choice.
(Athena POV)I took the tray for me, and they finally let me out to the dining area. But I suddenly paused my pace. Does this mean I'm about to face the Grand Alpha again? And it was already too late when the two of them looked at my way. This two, father and son werewolves have a strong influence in this world. I am going to eat with them in same table. What happened that I was so close to these creatures, all of a sudden?I just gave them a simple smile. No. Only with the Grand Alpha, since he was good to me. And a forced smile to the guy who is overwhelm about himself. They don't deserve my happy and real smile. EL has done a lot of negative stuff to me, and unfortunately for me, he's consistent about ruining my life. Arghh.I
(Athena POV)I ate quietly, crying to myself. I hope my heart was selfish enough to not care for his cooks to die. I chugged down a glass of juice which I hoped would make me drunk. So, there would be an excuse that… I was drunk and they will understand if my words that are coming out of my mouth are sharp. But there wasn’t any alcohol on the juice. I can't drink wine without their offer. Tsk. Dammit!Are you happy now EL? What now?! This is only for now. Celebrate now, treasure the time. You're in trouble mister. I myself will kill you if my freedom is at stake here. But I don't consider myself as a murderer. I couldn’t kill anyone. Huhuhu. I can kill only the eatable thing. But not a creature that will c
(Athena POV)“EL, answer me correctly and straight forward. You have no feelings for me, correct?” It was a serious question. He smirked at me. “Nothing." A word that made me sigh deeply.“Oh, it's very clear isn't it? What are we stupid? Playing a make-believe relationship? We will be a couple that feels nothing to each other? It was a pathetic and boring game EL. You should stop then!”"Couple." then he smiled at me. Dammit! What is so funny with that word?! If he really is the one destined to me, I know that my life in this world would be a nightmare. I hope that won't happen.
(Athena POV)Oh-ohhh!“What is the meaning of this Athena?!” A question that he even gives me a tight grip. Here he is again. When will I finally wake up from this nightmare?"Let go of me." I pulled my hand from him. He did not even loosen his grip, instead it tightened. “EL, let me visit my colleagues here.” I confess. That what he wants to hear. “I didn't even bring a medal to our team. I was eliminated because of your antics!” Wow. Did I really blame him for what I lost? Why I get fainted? Is this the only way I could escape from him? Nagging him?! “EL.&rdq
(EL POV)Within a few hours with Athena, my men keep on bothering me with what Athena was doing. Tss. She was playing hide and seek with them. As if the woman could escape from me. I put down gentle the paper I am reading in my table and raised my sight to the man who deliver the news to me. “My men were really useless for my chosen mate can easily escaped to them.” He never lifted his gazed to look directly to me. He couldn’t respond without a proper answer to my words. Tss. I close my eyes and smell the persimmon flower hiding to us. I grin when I saw her in my mind. Tss. You can’t escape easily to me Athena. You can’t. Just give up!
(EL POV)I stared into his eyes. Darrell eyes also competed to stare back at me. He means something he will not let me claim Athena that easily. "And I like her too." he indeed continued. I gave then an insulting smiled to him.“What do you mean? Can't you hear yourself? Do you want to compete with me?” Oh! I should not ask him. It was clearly and palpable. “It is obvious that victory is already mine, Master EL. Tss. I never thought I would mention your name with respect. Your highness.” He was casually sitting on a bench as if he didn't care that I was in his presence.
